Authorities say a teen they described as armed and dangerous has been found after stealing an AK-47 and an AR-15 rifle.
"Krisean Salinas has been located and taken into custody," Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Lieutenant Brennan Matherne said.
Cops feared what the teen would do after allegedly taking the guns.
Several agencies came together to try and head off the potential threat.
"Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Jerry Larpenter, and Houma Chief of Police Dana Coleman announced investigators are searching for a teenager who has gone missing after reportedly stealing two rifles," according to the initial news release.
Police explained how 14-year-old Salinas was staying at a family member’s in Galliano home.
"At around 3:45 a.m. on Thursday, February 21, deputies received a call that Salinas had fled the relative’s residence, and he had reportedly taken two rifles, an AK-47 and an AR-15."
Relatives believed Salinas tried hitching a ride to Larose, and then may have been in the Houma area.
"Salinas is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with knowledge of his current whereabouts should call 9-1-1 immediately. Do not attempt to engage Salinas in any manner."
The investigation continues.
